Corset 1715 Pattern by Caroline Woollin

 Hello

I bought this Corset pattern in Etsy, the pattern is called c1715 by Caroline Woollin. I already started to have an idea of how I do want my Corset to look like. I did have a gorgeous neon pink wool fabric, and I have some pieces of neon italian ribbed knit fabric, I bought neon pink rounded cord, I had pink silk fabric which I used as lining. 

I made a toile of size UK 10. It fits perfectly. 




Lining: I did have to use another silk fabric in the bust because I didn't have enough of the darker pink fabric.

This is a modern version of the corset. I sew a end-separated zipper. I bought a dyeable cotton zipper, I did so because I know how difficult is to find a neon pink zipper which could match with the fashion fabric. I dye the zipper and I was really happy with the result. 

For the straps, I bought a neon pink rounded cord from Minerva haberdashery, it was not exactly the same color, but I did like how it looks. When I sew the toile the only thing that it wasn't right for me was the length of the straps, so I did reduce the length. 

Here is the result..!!! I love this pink corset, the most difficult part was the binding, its not perfect but good enough.

My TIBI Skirt version

Image
Hello Everyone.! As the title says this sewing project was inspired by the Silk faille skirt from TIBI. This skirt was a boom between bloggers, in colours red and lime green,  but when I checked the website of TIBI you also can find it in black.  I did'nt have Silk faille fabric but I remember that I did have taffeta which I bought long time ago. So, I decided to sew my own version. The pictures were took at my work place and there was so much wind, it was crazy, but here it is my Tibi skirt version           I dont know how Silk faille fabric behave but I can say that Taffeta is not the best option, it gets wrinkle very easy and you must use something under to avoid static electricity. And as I said the wind was crazy....       See you until my next article.

My Roland Mouret Neon Green Betley Top version

Image
Hei In my fabrics stash I did have some pieces of neon green crepe fabric. I love that color, and I did really want to do a Top with it. So, I managed to do a Top based on the dress from Roland Mouret called Betley, but I didn't have enough fabric for me to  be able to make the front part  in one piece that's why you see the top front part made of two pieces sew together. (Picture 1), the original do not have it. Picture 1   Picture 2   I didn't want the front part to be open in the belly area. I did also a small change in the back.   It's done...!

My Roland Mouret Lush dress version

Image
Hello Long time without making a post. I was on holidays in the sunny Creta. A while ago I bought a medium cotton woven fabric. I dont know how to describe the colour it's like dark fuchsia but not even sure. I did find quite hard to get a nice thread that could match the color of the fabric and even a zipper, so I decided to use black thread for contrasting with the dark fuchsia. The fabric was prewashed, pressed, the grain was squared-off for every piece of the dress to be cut. I must say that this fabric felt heavy during the sewing process. But I managed. I am quite happy with the result. In a previous post I uploaded a picture of the making process of the RM lush dress. http://myfashionhobbie.blogspot.no/2014/07/what-am-i-doing-nowadays.html When I was satisfied with the fitting of the whole etoile, the next step was to cut the pieces in the cotton woven fabric. Pieces of the dress I ordered the RIRI zipper from USA, and when I came back from Greece I have...
